Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of transmitting data by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: generating a single reference signal, wherein a length of the single reference signal is equal to the total number of subcarriers in a first set of resource blocks and a second set of resource blocks; mapping the generated single reference signal to the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks, wherein the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks are not contiguous with each other in a frequency domain, wherein all subcarriers within the first set of resource blocks are contiguous, and wherein all subcarriers within the second set of resource blocks are contiguous; and transmitting the mapped single reference signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an uplink grant allocating the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single reference signal is generated by shifting a base sequence cyclically.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks respectively include one or more consecutive resource block groups, wherein one resource block group of the one or more consecutive resource block groups includes at least one resource block.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein one resource block includes 12 consecutive subcarriers.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks respectively include a different number of resource block groups.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single reference signal is mapped to a fourth single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol in each slot in a subframe, the subframe including 2 slots and each slot including 7 SC-FDMA symbols.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single reference signal is mapped to a third SC-FDMA symbol in each slot in a subframe, the subframe including 2 slots and each slot including 6 SC-FDMA symbols.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: mapping data to the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks; and transmitting the mapped data.
10. A user equipment transmitting data in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising: a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit or receive a radio signal; and a processor, coupled to the RF unit, and configured to: generate a single reference signal, wherein a length of the single reference signal is equal to the total number of subcarriers in a first set of resource blocks an a second set of resource blocks; map the generated single reference signal to the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks, wherein the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks are not contiguous with each other in a frequency domain, wherein all subcarriers within the first set of resource blocks are contiguous, and wherein all subcarriers within the second set of resource blocks are contiguous; and transmit the mapped single reference signal.
11. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive an uplink grant allocating the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission.
12. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the single reference signal is generated by shifting a base sequence cyclically.
13. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks respectively include one or more consecutive resource block groups, wherein one resource block group of the one or more consecutive resource block groups include at least one resource block.
14. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein one resource block includes 12 consecutive subcarriers.
15. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks respectively include a different number of resource block groups.
16. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the single reference signal is mapped to a fourth single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol in each slot in a subframe, the subframe including 2 slots and each slot including 7 SC-FDMA symbols.
17. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the single reference signal is mapped to a third SC-FDMA symbol in each slot in a subframe, the subframe including 2 slots and each slot including 6 SC-FDMA symbols.
18. The method of claim 3 , wherein the base sequence is determined by a sequence group number u and a base sequence number v.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the sequence group number u and the base sequence number v are identical for the generated reference signal sequence, which is divided into the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks.
20. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the base sequence is determined by a sequence group number u and a base sequence number v.
21. The user equipment of claim 20 , wherein the sequence group number u and the base sequence number v are identical for the generated reference signal sequence, which is divided into the first set of resource blocks and the second set of resource blocks.
